TROY PUBLIC LIBRARY         updated June 2008

Thinking of starting a book discussion group and looking for books? Already belong to a group and interested in new titles? Then check out the Troy Public Library's Book Discussion Kits. The kits include 15-20 copies of the same title and discussion questions. They circulate for eight weeks to Troy Public Library cardholders, and may be renewed once, for an additional eight weeks. 

Kits can be picked up and returned at the Library's Technology desk during regular Library hours. Please do not leave them in the after-hours drop boxes. 

Overdue kits will be charged $1 a day. Kits with missing item(s) will be charged $1 a day until the item is returned. Replacement cost of an entire kit is $75. Replacement costs of individual parts of the kits will depend on the cost of each item.
